| Biography
I am Arjun Dhakal from Kathmandu Nepal. Throughout my professional career and academic background, I always concentrated in the areas of environment, energy and sustainable development. I see myself project management and implementation, communication and networking, event organizing and coordinating, teaching and research. It has always been a strong motivation for me to work for improving environment by facing the recent challenges like climate change and changing consumption patterns. This was particularly true when I was coordinating Sustainability Watch Project in Nepal as a National Focal Point for the promotion of sustainable development and later when I worked in Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) as a research associate for urban energy access and use in Thailand and consultant with South Asian Network for Development and Environmental Economics (SANDEE). Currently, I am working as the Director of NGO Federation of Nepal (NFN), a national federation of more than 4500 NGOs of Nepal. I have done Master’s degree in Environmental Sciences and Policy (MS) from Central European University (CEU), Budapest in 2007 and Master’s in Economics from Tribhuvan University Kathmandu in 2000. |
